"He has many offers," Rodriguez Sr. said, and citing Juventus' interest added: [James and Cristiano] are very good friends. The way I perceive Italian football right now, [Juventus] would be a good decision."

James, meanwhile, remained quiet on his future in an interview with Bild.

Having only made eight starts for Bayern this season, the-27-year-old said he "must remain calm" and "do a good job" when he gets a chance.

When asked about his future beyond the summer, he added: "That's still four months away. Currently, I only think about Bayern."
